Local businesses support their own. And there's no greater sign of that loyalty than a fundraiser this week for young Teddy Sayler.

Sayler, who is 7 years old, is son of Patrick Sayler, general manager of The Co-op Natural Foods in Sioux Falls. He recently hurt himself, seriously, in a bike accident, lacerating his liver. The damage has required extensive care and time in hospital.

On Thursday, a number of local businesses are working together to support Teddy's care and recovery. Tickets to the fundraiser at the Icon Event Hall and Lounge are $25.

A ticket will get participants appetizers from M.B. Haskett and Look's Market, dessert from CH Patisserie, and a free beer from Fernson Brewing Company. Music that evening will be provided by the band Habeas Porpoise. There will be a silent auction, as well.

"The community in Sioux Falls is super supportive and unbelievable," Sayler said.
